Hawai`i men's head tennis coach, Jim Schwitters earned his 800th win, March 19, in a 6-1 win over Oklahoma. Schwitters is the winningest coach in collegiate tennis, owning a 800-393-8 record in 36 years as the mens head coach.
Eight hundred is just a number, Schwitters said after the match. I dont hit a ball or win a match. Its a tribute to the guys who want to excel and want to win. This win reminds me of all the great teams and its an important event. Over the years, my assistant coaches put in a lot of effort and get nothing out of it. They deserve a lot of credit for my success. Im proud of the way we played today and it was a total team effort.
